Would you actually use them when it's raining? that's a risk I wouldn't wanna take anyways.
I have a pair of hfi-780, and similarly thought they improved when I recabled them and removed that "S-Logic" bullcrap chip. They seemed much crisper and cleaner overall.....
Seems like the 900s are back en masse again, will probably be picking up a pair of these soon.
A question I have for some people in regards to these and their ability in terms of gaming. Positional audio accuracy and picking up detail cues, specifically. Does the big bass mask finer details in online FPS's like CS, MW2, BFBC2, etc? I know a lot of the owners of these also own/have owned multiple headphones - how well do these work for gaming and being able to HEAR and PINPOINT where people are just by sound compared to well-known gaming stalwarts like the AD700, DT770/880/990, K701, HD595/598, D2000/5000 etc, etc? Also I think I'm going to be using these with Dolby Headphone (or CMSS-3D possibly but probably Dolby..) for some PC gaming so just wondering owners' thoughts on this.
How's the immersion? I assume being closed in nature and with some nice bassy rumble they'd be great. S-Logic is another curveball...
I've read generally positive opinions on these but some concrete comparisons to other well-regarded gaming cans would be great, especially some of those listed above.
thanks!
-soon to be pro900 owner, most likely.
These seem like they would satisfy me for music (can't know for sure until I try them out for myself though! haha) but I was contemplating whether or not its neccessary for me to pick up another pair of (much cheaper) gaming-dedicated headphones. Being in a dorm next year makes me hesitant to buy open headphones even if its mostly for gaming though...I"m thinking the isolation provided by closed headphones would be useful. We'll see....
I just purchased the Pro 900's from buyauthorized and will be receiving them sometime this week!
I bought the FiiO E7/E9 as well, but I probably won't get them until two weeks later.
Would it be fine if I burned the headphones through an ipod or through my computers stock sound card?
Should I also use burn-in files as well (white & pink noise)? Or should I just use any type of music to burn them in?
Buyauthorized has 7 pairs again on Ebay. Try offering 320.00, should get accepted.
